THE WELCOME GATE
The homepage is the second most read page on my blog with over 20,000 pageviews…

Check it out. Go to Google Analytics and navigate to the Behavior >> Site content report:

Most people don’t take advantage of this prime list building real estate.
I provide an enticing call-to-action with a couple testimonials from prominent industry experts to immediately build credibility.
There are a number of great tools out there you can use to quickly add a welcome gate to your homepage. 
Sumome just released the “welcome mat”.
However, I now use Thrive Content Builder to build all my landing pages. 
 
If you don’t want to create a new landing page, an alternative would be to use the Feature Box plugin.
